in florida, it's the same deal. if the margin on election night is one half of less percent we'll get a recount in florida, overseen by ken detzner. the other swing state, where there's an automatic recount where the real clear politics shows the difference between the candidates is 0.6%, that state is colorado. the secretary of state is this guy, republican scott gessler. scott gessler made himself famous this year when he tried to stop mailing bat lots to those who normally got them. he tried to kick 4,000 colorado voters off the state voter rolls a few months before election day. he's working on another voter roll purge since then. if there is a recount in colorado, that's the guy in charge. in a way, it is heart warming to see people willing to spend hours upon hours in line in order to vote that. is truly a heartwarming sight and it's heartbreaking because not all people can do that. there are also people who made it through hour one, nad through hour two, maybe made it through hour three but by the time hour f

florida's republican governor is refusing to do, namely to make it possible to vote in florida without enduring a democracy marathon in order to do it. faced with that lawsuit and with the evident problem of voters not being able to vote a few florida counties decided maybe they better do something after all on their own. the counties came up with basically a work do workaround plan. you still could not technically early vote today in most of florida, but around the the city of tampa in pinellas and hillsborough county, you could pick up an over the counter absentee ballot. fill it in there and hand it in right there. you could do that all day in greater tampa. in orange county, which includes orlando, a judge ordered the day of early voting after a bomb scare kept the polls closed there for several hours. the situation in miami-dade county got really kind of nuts today. at least that's how it seems to me. i was watching reporting from miami-dade all day today. it started to feel like farce. after people were still voting, last night, at 1:00 in the morning in miami-dade, miami-dade fi

that was the november surprise in florida that screwed up florida's election so badly. turns out people wanted to vote. nobody saw that coming. they were not prepared. in pinellas county, florida, robocalls were telling people they had until wednesday to vote. they're still arguing how it happened. at first the elections chief blamed the robo call company. no, it's not their fault. somebody in the pinellas elections office controlled it and today the elections office said they did not realize they were going out and did not want them going out telling them they could vote after election day. it does not help that the officials are partisan with a d or r after their name. the pinellas clerk is a political actor in a political calderon. if those robocalls were sent out by mistake, that is a really serious mistake. if it's not a mistake, that happened on purpose, that is a scandal. in either case, maybe it needs fixing. today, a former mayor of tampa said she was ready to work on reform in florida, her name is pam iorio, considered a possible candidate for governor in 2014
